Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 30 Homestead St in Noe Valley, owned by Grose Trust, is a two-story duplex constructed in 1907. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, most notably a basement reinforcement project in 1997 that included bolting and strengthening the basement area according to engineer's specifications. More recently, in 2017, the building's gas water heater was replaced. The property has experienced recurring issues with parking violations, particularly in 2021-2022, with multiple reports of vehicles blocking driveways and parking on sidewalks, though these incidents were typically resolved through citations or officer responses. A notable infrastructure concern arose in early 2021, when the building experienced two sewage backup incidents through a 4-inch vent, though these were promptly addressed by PUC Sewer Operations. The building's historical maintenance record shows attention to structural needs, such as the removal of existing front steps in 1985, though this permit lacks detailed description in the current records. Recent street-related issues have primarily involved abandoned vehicles on the street near the property, with the most recent incident occurring in September 2023, though these are external to the building's direct management concerns.

Risk rating

How 30 Homestead St's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of SF DBI inspection data — notice of violation filings, complaint history, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that DBI inspectors will issue a Notice of Violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 470 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Property class: multi-family flat

2–4 unit flats (class F) are a common SF building type with their own maintenance and complaint patterns.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 74.5%
Moderate concern 18.1%
Severe concern 7.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
